Duke Nukem Forever Release Date Revealed

stupid_is writes with news that Duke Nukem Forever has now gotten a firm US release date: May 3rd. It will release worldwide three days later. The game was resurrected last fall by Gearbox Software and 2K Games after 3D Realms' 12-year attempt at development came to an end in 2009 when the company closed its doors.

Practical nuclear fusion is always 30 years away.
Fast non-volatile memory tech to replace RAM and HD is always 10 years away.
Duke Nukem Forever is forever 6 months away.

Kudos for Gearbox in keeping the myth alive.

Just take my money

I don't care if it's terribad.
I don't care if it's Borderlands2 with a Duke skin.
It's Duke, it's 2011. I always bet on Duke and I'm letting it ride.

Better be playable at PAXeast, though, god damn.

Until it ships, it is still VAPORWARE!

"US release date: May 3rd. It will release worldwide three days later"

Games companies are forever bleeting on about piracy, so why the hell do they release a game in one country and tell everyone else in the world that they have to wait THREE days? As if loads of those people aren't going to pirate the game, when they may well have gone and bought it if they'd had the chance.
